New aiccu version 2007.01.15 released

[Jeroen Massar]

Binary package hint: aiccu

New package available from upstream at http://www.sixxs.net/tools/aiccu/

Including amd64, i386 and arm builds, based on Debian unstable, but run perfectly fine on Ubuntu.

Debian Package can be built verbatim on Ubuntu from the tarball which is supplied.

I see this new version too.

Moreover I think that previous versions don't work anymore due to changed to the authentication system.

Can you elaborate on "changes to the authentication system" ?

As as far as I know nothing has changed there at all...

A friend of mine has some trouble to connect to the tunnel broker with an older version of aiccu a few days ago. He has to upgrade to the last version. I have no more informations but I think syncing this package quickly should be a good idea

[Jeroen Massar (massar)]

According to the news page at SixXS all old versions where deprecated when 2007.01.07 was released, that is probably the problem there.

But fortunately the version from the download page simply works.
Just use a extra apt-repository in /etc/apt/sources.list and done ;)

It would be great though if Ubuntu also had this new version so that Ubuntu is up to speed with the rest of the world.

No. It doesn't work for dapper because libgnutls13 is not available.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  aiccu: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6) but 2.3.6-0ubuntu20 is to be installed
         Depends: libgnutls13 (>= 1.4.0-0) but it is not installable
         Depends: libgnutls13 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

I also tried to recompile it following the instructions on the sixxs web page. Compilation went ok but the newly compiled package is uninstallable, too, due to unmet dependencies.

Tried to compile libgnutls13 from edgy source package but it appeared to be quite difficult and complicated because of missing libtasn1-3 packages for dapper :(

So. No working aiccu for dapper.

It was build on a Debian unstable, and the package worked on the current
Ubunty edgy. But that is probably because that has new versions.

Which dependencies are unmet? The only versioned depends are lsb-base
and libgnutls13. The first should not cause a problem, the latter can be
 easily changed to libgnutls12 and that should work. Modify
debian/control for that and it should work.

Unfortunately one can't make a 'generic-latest-on-the-buildbox' control
file as far as I know. If one knows how, yell.

From the next message:

See above on how to fix that, just use libgnutls13.

The dependency for libgnutls13 is there as libgnutls12 is deprecated due
to security bugs or something in that area.

[..]

${shlibs:Depends} already includes libgnutlsXX it seesms:

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6), libgnutls13 (>= 1.4.0-0), iputils-ping,
iputils-tracepath, iproute, debconf, lsb-base
 (>= 1.3-9ubuntu2), gawk | awk, libgnutls13

As such the libgnutls13 can be removed. Commited in AICCU CVS.

Can you check that the below control file (just cut&paste into it) works
when rebuilding the package? Note that the Depends: line is one line.
